i love sunday mornings...

I have said this before but I just love quiet sunday mornings - it's almost 9:30 and BOTH of my boys are still alseep - enjoying a nice cup of coffee (which is especially wonderful today because I bought more hazelnut creamer yesterday- I was without for almost a week!) no noise in the house other than the computer keyboard. An added bonus was waking up to see the ground covered in snow, and it is still snowing! Bobby will be happy when he wakes up!

Just a short post - will need to put up some pictures later today... I must've jinxed it when I said they were still sleeping because Mase-dog just woke up! :)

we (heart) hats!

We are STILL having so much fun with my "you cam" --- today we decided to model our new hats..and then dug out some old hats and model those too! Someday Mason is going to look back on these pictures and hopefully laugh and not be too embarrassed that sometimes we are a little weird!

make a page monday

Did another Make a Page Monday over @ Cathy Zielske's blog- here's my take. What a great motivator to get some scrapping done each week. I'm still adjusting to the time change, think it might be time for bed...

halloween and more

Mason missed the memo that we got to sleep in an hour today. His schedule has been off all day - and of course we were @ church during "nap time" Did not go well!

I finished this page while Mason napped this afternoon - we were all LIONS for Halloween! It was so much fun this year - Mason was LOVING running down the sidewalks with his trick or treat bucket (which was almost as big as him)!

We had a suite @ the hockey game Friday night - Mason's big trick of the night was walking around with a cup in his mouth. Saturday our friends Joe & Molly came up, and Grandma Marilyn watched Mason for us!

We are also VERY PROUD to say that we are the parents of a DANCING STAR! Friday night Mason got to participate in a chicken dance showdown during intermission and he WON as crowd favorite! Guess the dance moves he and I have been practicing have paid off!! :)
Today I was really in the mood for Christmas decorating, but the furthest I got was lighting one of my Christmas candles!

So glad it's going to be a short (but super busy) work week - Thursday is a day off (wahoo!) and Friday Mason has a checkup.

Give Thanks for Kids

Came across this website today - what a wonderful idea! Not only that but they also give away prizes. Basically they ask volunteers to design a 4x6 scrapbook page/card, and then they give those cards to children in hospitals. Maybe I am just feeling a little more emotional than usual but it brought tears to my eyes! So often we take for granted the health of our children and families, but it is really something we should be thankful for everyday. So now I'm off to make some cards and hope you will too!

picture overload!

I have not really posted many pictures lately - so here are some from the past couple of weeks. Yes, Mason actually lifts and carries around his pumpkin that we decorated a few weeks back-- the pumpkin no longer has eyes or a nose - just a white painted smiley face!

Been having LOTS of fun this week using the webcam on my computer to take photos - got the idea from Ali Edwards blog. Downloaded a free program called "Cyberlink You Cam" and we have been having a blast! Mason thinks it is just GREAT!!!

last night we went to my aunt's house for some yummy happy joes pizza - my 2 cousins from Las Vegas & Florida were up! ((and of course it was nice to see my "local" relatives too)) So lucky we got to see them!! Thanks Gwen & Terry for having everyone over!

Sunday we left for Jamestown for our nephew COLE BUG'S 3rd birthday party - the kids all had so much fun playing together, although you'd never tell by this picture! They are both just so worn out!

cupcakes in the car = BAD IDEA!

Also got to spend the evening with these two beautiful smart wonderful ladies on Saturday night - we went to a chick flick, dinner, and of course had some cocktails after. A perfect girls night out!! Love you both!!!!

Bobby & I at the Vikings/Cowboys game - tailgating. We had such an amazing time together that weekend! Tonight Bobby is gone to Bismark for a leadership conference. He is 1 out of only 14 people in the state selected to go - I am SOO proud of you honey!!

working on some headbands for my beautiful nieces - and if I want to mail them out this weekend I better get working!

hurray for fridays!!

so happy tomorrow is friday! I am looking forward to a much-needed girls night with my two lifelong best friends - dinner & a movie! can't wait girls! bobby & I had such a great time in Mpls last weekend - so great to see a vikes win! We got back late late late Sunday night - then went to my parent's to pick up Mason- it made for one long day @ work Monday. Wednesday I had church council, and I was supposed to work late tonight, but ended up not having to do that. Instead had a night @ home with Mason, and my mom came over for dinner (Bobby was in Fargo for work tonight) - playing "tag" and reading books!

If I haven't written this already, Mason has started saying "ni-ni lub-you" (translated=ni-ni love you) when we put him to bed. Then we say our goodnites and he sings himself to sleep!

After Mason went to bed, I finished folding some laundry (thanks Bobby for putting the clothes in the wash!) ....and then made a scrapbook page about it!

So much for going to bed early tonight!!!
